We first crossed paths with Juncheol on Nyapi's rooftop during the Ransom Note Asia tour.

A heavy vinyl digger and Nyapi resident, he’s carved his own path through late-night listening sessions.

His sets weave through percussive detours, raw rhythms and imperfect textures, always creating a high energy dance.

 
Through his Somewhere mix series and steady presence in the booth, Juncheol keeps Seoul’s underground plugged into a wider frequency, pulling local heads and distant artists together.

Juncheol moves at his own tempo.

Juncheol: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

VLADIMIR IVKOVIC - Wednesday 5th November 2025

This was a mix I made for a series called 'Music for Theatre Lobbies' in December 2020. It appears the original recording is no longer online, so I am sharing it here. I really like the energy of this mix, it has a lot of beautiful music I keep returning to.  The accompanying photo is of a genkan at a temple, taken in the same month the mix was made.

The recording of my ambient set at Sustain Release Year 11, opening the Bossa Lounge on Saturday evening from 9PM-midnight. 

This set is 3 hours from the heart journeying through time&space across ambient, downtempo, trip hop, acoustic instrumentals, synthesiser pieces and all inbetween 💞 

This is one of my favourite ambient DJing experiences I've had, I felt so at home in the Bossa Lounge and such a deep sense of attentiveness from the audience, thank you to all those who travelled with me on this trip.

Feat. music from tarotplane, Wilson Tanner, Re:Axis, Artekaft, Biosphere, Vangelis, Martin Stürtzer, VC-118A, LF58, Pablo’s Eye, Kaspiann, Daniel[I], Miriam Makeba, Robbie Basho, Rene Lorenzo, Neotropic, Mad Professor, Jefferson Airplane +++
